Antique Quilt Block Tote

These antique blocks come from my collection of old American quilts.  Each block is over a hundred years old and they need some tending loving care. Some blocks may need a small repair or patch. Sew this block onto the linen tote bag for keeping all your favorite sewing projects.

Linen Tote measures 17" x 18" with a 2" strap
